Posted on: 09/06/2025

Water pressure sensors are devices used to measure and monitor the pressure or differential pressure of liquids in systems such as water supply, HVAC, wastewater treatment, and industrial automation. These sensors convert pressure into electrical signals (commonly 4–20 mA or 0–10 V), allowing data to be transmitted to a central controller or PLC for accurate and safe system operation and alerts.

Dwyer Instruments (USA) is one of the world’s leading manufacturers in the field of measurement and control devices. Among their products, the pressure and differential pressure sensors from the 626, 628, 629C, and 629HPL series are widely applied in industrial processes, water supply and drainage, HVAC systems, and automation.

1. What is a Dwyer Pressure Sensor?

A Dwyer pressure sensor is a device used to measure absolute pressure, differential pressure, or gauge pressure in air, steam, or liquid systems. The pressure signal is converted into an electrical signal (typically 4–20 mA or 0–10 V) for monitoring, alerting, or automatic control purposes within the system.

Dwyer offers specialized sensor series for measuring water and liquid pressure, including:

  • Series 626 – liquid pressure sensors with a robust stainless steel body, suitable for industrial and HVAC applications.
  • Series 628 – sensors suitable for liquids and gases, offering stable operation and high accuracy, ideal for medium to high-pressure environments.
  • Series 629C – designed to measure water and non-corrosive liquids, with a wide measurement range and modern electronic integration.
  • Series 629HPL – high-performance (HPL) pressure sensors, suitable for applications requiring high accuracy and reliability in monitoring cold water, hot water, or complex liquid transmission systems.

These series are widely applied in HVAC systems, water supply systems, booster pumps, boiler monitoring, and industrial automatic control systems.
